Civil War commemorations and re-enactors are practically synonymous, but as the Gettysburg hoopla began last week, the Director of the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College said very publicly the commemoration would be better without all the men in blue and gray pretending to be soldiers.On June 29, the Wall Street Journal ran a story that said, "Peter Carmichael, a professor of history at Gettysburg College, calls re-enactments an 'unfortunate distraction' from a deeper understanding of the Civil War, including the motivations of those who fought and its legacy."Later that same night, Carmichael quoted himself to me at the media reception in Gettysburg sponsored by the college: "unfortunate distraction."Across town, in a field of canvas dog tents next to the Pennsylvania Monument, Tom Downes told me, "A lot of guys in this camp have probably done more research than a lot of academics - they just haven't written a book: they wanted to know what kind of cartridge box was used in 1862 in Virginia."Downes, 63, has been re-enacting for 33 years. He's the founder of the 8th Ohio re-enactment group and leader of the National Regiment, one of the two re-enactment organizations the National Park Service asked to do Living History demonstrations on the battlefield during the July 1-3 commemoration.There's a mutual simmering resentment between historians and re-enactors. It's not a war or a battle - the hackneyed terms used for any controversy in Gettysburg - but it is a tension over who should tell the story of the war and how.Call it the eggheads versus the interlopers.Like any good American feud, it includes perceived differences in class, propriety, work ethic and honor.The professional historians are clearly the establishment, and the re-enactors the literally unwashed masses.But it's not a black and white, blue and gray kind of spat. It gets complicated.

Peter Carmichael, Director of the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College

When I spoke with Carmichael, he was particularly interested, it seemed, after I mentioned that I was embedded with re-enactors camped on the battlefield and had participated in re-enactments during the preceding year in preparation for Gettysburg.Carmichael told me he had once been a re-enactor himself. I didn't ask if he grew out of it or followed a 12-step program; his question to me - didn't I find most of the re-enactors to be blue collar? - suggested other factors were at play.I told him in my year of re-enacting the thing that has struck me most was the variety of people involved in the hobby: I have met architects, insurance adjusters, congressional staffers, delivery men, computer specialists, members of the military (both active and retired), professional artists, college librarians, retired coal miners, law clerks, engineers, high school teachers, a state government cabinet secretary and the Policy Director for NASA.I asked Downes. He told me that in the 8th Ohio, he has had "two multi-millionaires as members of the unit and five military officers in various branches. One today is a retired judge, and was an active judge when he joined. I've got truck drivers and loading dock supervisors. A rarity are teachers: I've got one. There are three PhDs in my company."Two of the PhDs were there doing Living History: an economist and an historian.The historian was Bradley Keefer, a tenured professor at Kent State, who said, "re-enactors are generally looked down on and not taken seriously" - except when it comes to battlefield preservation.But Carmichael's condemnation was not universal: he told both the Wall Street Journal reporter and me that living history encampments, like the one Downes was leading on the battlefield, were preferable to re-enactments. "They do a good job," he said. But better yet, the best thing people can do - "All you need to do," he said - is spend the day on the battlefield with a certified guide.That's the hierarchy of respectability outside the lecture hall.But the National Park Service invites re-enactors to the battlefield regularly to present Living History demonstrations; it's something of a badge of honor among re-enactment groups that they are "good enough" to be invited.Re-enactors clearly have value of some sort. A Park Ranger told members of the National Regiment the 150th commemoration couldn't have been done without them.After I participated in the National Regiment's appearance at the commemoration of Pickett's charge on Tuesday and as I was walking to my truck in full uniform with my musket, a gray-haired man came up to me and said "Thank You" in the earnest tone I've heard people use with active duty servicemen. It unsettled and embarrassed me because there's not even a remote equivalence. Perhaps - I hope - he didn't intend one. But the earnestness of that "Thank You" was more than the proof I needed that visitors to the battlefield like to see re-enactors.And that's really the rub.The spectator stands for the battle re-enactment that continues today and tomorrow came to Gettysburg straight from the U.S. Open. They're massive. They have to be. Roughly 40,000 people are expected to visit the re-enactment over its four-day schedule. That's as many people as visited the battlefield for the official commemoration of Pickett's charge on Tuesday.From Carmichael's perspective, big battle re-enactments like this weekend's attract people who would be better served, he thinks, learning real history on the battlefield itself, spending the money they'd otherwise drop at the re-enactment on a licensed battlefield guide to be properly instructed in history.I'm not sure the two are exclusive, but the historians sense there's a competition for people's time and minds.If there were no re-enactments, people would have to go to the battlefield and do it the right way.

Tom Downes, right, has been re-enacting for 33 years and leads the National Regiment.

But even Downes is uneasy with at least one aspect of re-enactments: the media coverage which creates the image of re-enactors."The media always focuses on the yahoos and goons - the ones with crossed bandoleros and feathers in their hat," he said.Or the many Robert E. Lees.One doesn't join a re-enactment group and decide he's going to be a general. Those people - the impersonators - tend to operate alone, or soon find themselves alone.Most serious re-enactors start as simple common soldiers, and many never do anything but.Downes described his "meteoric 25 year rise" to the rank of colonel. "Our philosophy has always been: Are you a good private? That's what we judge you by."It's not about glory and attention, but something much different.Carmichael questions the propriety - when the country is in the midst of war - of turning war into "a spectator sport."War as entertainment may be distasteful to many, but given the fact the "Call of Duty" video game - just one of many featuring explicit and realistic World War II shooting scenarios - sold 6 million units in one month after its release in 2009, Civil War re-enactment is a small drop in that bucket.While battle re-enactments may be of limited value to the spectators, they are important to re-enactors and sustain the Living History demonstrations valued by the Park Service and its visitors.Generally, those who are good enough to do Living History for the National Park Service got that way by going to lots of battle re-enactments.One of the reasons Downes group was invited to do Living History is they are very good at Civil War military drill - how the groups of soldiers moved from point A to point B.Downes likes drill; he learned it not only from books but from doing it with older re-enactors who had become really good at it.They practiced at re-enactments.Downes said the experience of re-enacting colors and enlivens his reading of history and vice-versa. He has read letters and accounts written by men who served and sometimes could immediately relate to what they were describing, and at other times, he'd be on a re-enactment field and see something happen and realize that's what he'd read about.Re-enactors generally have a deep interest in the history of the Civil War, read extensively about it, often do original research and enjoy re-enacting because it helps them better understand the reality of the common soldier.Re-enactors don't pretend to be professional historians, and don't try to compete with them, but they do bridle at the condescension they sometimes receive from the Ivory Tower. Some of the professional historians, they suspect, wouldn't know Left Wheel from Shoulder-Arms.In my experience, most enjoy sharing what they know with others, and they don't hesitate to acknowledge when they don't know.And part of their appeal to the public, I think, is the fact they aren't professors and are both more accessible and approachable.Downes said he believes there are three dimensions to popular history: reading a book, going to battlefields and museums; and re-enacting."What brings history into third dimension is re-enacting," he said: "wear the clothes, eat the food, experience the conditions."I've experienced the conditions, and they are anything but comfortable. I've nearly frozen at Antietam in mid-September, laying on the cold, hard ground under the stars in nothing but my uniform and a wool blanket. I've marched in uncomfortable shoes until my feet were numb. I've mucked about through mud the color and consistency of pig excrement at Shiloh. I've drank bad coffee, eaten hardtack and gone hungry.As I lay in my tent on the battlefield at Gettysburg earlier this week, damp and back aching, I wondered why these men do it. Really.I watched several of them crawl from their tents at Chancellorsville, gripping their backs and groaning in pain. I saw a guy whack his hand with an axe, and come back from the hospital and continue re-enacting with a bandaged hand. I saw a man who has to sleep with an air pump and mask for his sleep apnea bring it to camp camouflaged in a period-appropriate wooden ammunition crate.And they aren't crazy, most of them.Ask them why they do it, and most say it's for the fun. Even Downes says, "I take the hobby seriously, but not too seriously."There is a campfire camaraderie among men - and women - who share a deep interest in history, a sometimes silly hobby and an agreement not to discuss politics or religion. They share war stories - both real and re-enacted.And yet they suffer doing it.And that suffering was perhaps the key, I thought, as I lay there in the tent.It reminded me of the hermit saints of the middle ages who deprived themselves to step closer to and honor God.In some odd, unspoken way, it seemed like the re-enactors' suffering - though not religious - was an homage to the men who fought and died in the Civil War. So I asked Downes if there was something to that or if I was just a nutter.There's something to it, he agreed."It's the old boys we do this for, and it's the old boys who were here."That kind of participatory history simply can't be found with a licensed guide on the battlefield.

Rookie Alexander Rossi wins The 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500

By Jerry Bonkowski | Published: May 29, 2016

INDIANAPOLIS – When Alexander Rossi leaves Indianapolis, don’t be surprised if he’ll have a song stuck in his heart and head: fellow Californian Jackson Brown’s 1977 hit, “Running on Empty.”Rossi was running on an empty fuel tank in his No. 98 NAPA Auto Parts/Curb Honda, but managed to coast the final quarter-lap to win the history-making 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil.CLICK HERE:100th Indianapolis 500 box score“This is the greatest day of my life,” Rossi said. “I have no idea how we pulled that off.

“I didn’t know (if I could make it to the finish). … I’ll cherish the fact that at one point we were (in 29th place) and that we rolled the dice and we came through and we made it happen. It’s phenomenal. I’m at a loss for words but it will change my life, for sure.”The 25-year-old Auburn, California, native – who drove five races in Formula One last year before jumping back to American soil to compete in the Verizon IndyCar Series for 2016 – becomes the first rookie to win the Indy 500 since Helio Castroneves in 2001.Rossi’s car started sputtering shortly after he took the white flag for the final lap. By the time he exited Turn 4 and headed to the finish line, he was coasting. How slow? Rossi’s final lap speed was just 179.784 mph. But he had built such a huge lead that he still managed to cross the start-finish line with a 4.4975-second margin of victory.By comparison, the last-lap speed of runner-up and teammate Carlos Munoz was 218.789 mph.In his first season in the Verizon IndyCar Series, this was just Rossi’s sixth race. His best finish to date was 10th two weeks ago in the Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis, on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.“Unbelievable, unbelievable,” said Michael Andretti, co-owner of the Andretti Herta Autosport with Curb-Agajanian entry for Rossi. “They did a great job with their strategy. To get a 1-2 finish in the 100th Running of the Indy 500 (is) pretty good. We’re just so happy. It’s so awesome.“It’s a great day to be part of history,” Andretti said later in the post-race press conference. “I’m a bit speechless. (Rossi) had never seen this place until a couple months ago. He was never intimidated and learned every day of the month.“I saw he was very confident going into the race and he did a hell of a job. Even when there were problems, he kept his head in the game.”When several other drivers including pole sitter James Hinchcliffe, Tony Kanaan, Josef Newgarden and Munoz had to stop for fuel in the closing laps, Rossi took the point on Lap 197.That’s when co-owner and race strategist Bryan Herta told Rossi to conserve fuel, gambling Rossi could go a seemingly impossible 36 laps (90 miles) on the 18.5 gallons of Sunoco E85R fuel he had to make it to the end.“Bryan came up with an unbelievable strategy.” Rossi said. “The NAPA Auto Parts/Curb Honda was fast in the beginning. I can’t believe we’ve done this.”For Herta, it was his second Indy 500 win as a team owner. The late Dan Wheldon won the 2011 500 for Herta’s team, which joined forces in mid-February with Andretti.“This is unbelievable,” Herta said. “Man, it was so close at the end. For a rookie to drive with the poise he did in such a tough situation – I was telling him, ‘Don’t let anybody pass you but save fuel’ – and he did it. A tribute to Alex, Michael Andretti and the whole team. We worked so well together this month.” Rossi’s triumph marks the fourth Indy 500 win for Andretti Autosport. The others were with Dan Wheldon (2005), Dario Franchitti (2007) and Ryan Hunter-Reay (2014).A sellout crowd filled Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the momentous race – and were not disappointed.“It sucks not winning this thing, but at least people had an amazing show to watch for the 100th running,” Newgarden said after finishing third in the No. 21 Preferred Freezer Chevrolet for Ed Carpenter Racing. “That’s all we can really ask.”Tony Kanaan was fourth in the No. 10 NTT Data Chevy for Chip Ganassi Racing, with teammate Charlie Kimball fifth in the No. 42 Tresiba Chevy.Verizon IndyCar Series points leader Simon Pagenaud saw his three-race winning streak come to an end, finishing 19th. The Team Penske driver leaves Indianapolis with a 57-point lead over Scott Dixon.Pagenaud’s teammate, defending Indianapolis 500 winner Juan Pablo Montoya, saw his day end early when he lost control of the No. 2 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet and hit the SAFER Barrier exiting Turn 2 on Lap 64 in a single-car incident. Montoya became the third champion to finish last the following year, after Jimmy Bryan in 1959 and Johnny Rutherford in 1977.There were 54 lead changes, second most in Indy 500 history to the 68 changes in 2013. When Kanaan took the lead on Lap 109, it marked the 12th Indy 500 that he’s led at least one lap. That ranks second to A.J. Foyt’s 13. Castroneves led the race an 11th time, tying him for third with Al Unser and Mario Andretti.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said his company is investigating a report accusing it of political bias, but has so far found "no evidence" the allegation is true.

The company was accused of suppressing conservative news sites and injecting a liberal bias into its "Trending Topics" list -- which appears in the top right corner of each user's Facebook homepage -- according to anonymous sources in a story reported by Tech website Gizmodo on Monday. ABC News could not independently verify that report.

"This week, there was a report suggesting that Facebook contractors working on Trending Topics suppressed stories with conservative viewpoints," Zuckerberg said in a statement on his Facebook account Thursday evening. "We take this report very seriously and are conducting a full investigation to ensure our teams upheld the integrity of this product."

"We have found no evidence that this report is true. If we find anything against our principles, you have my commitment that we will take additional steps to address it," he added.

In addition to the investigation, Zuckerberg said he would invite "leading conservatives and people from across the political spectrum" to share their views with him.

Facebook said it has 1.09 billion daily active users as of March 2016, about 94 percent of which are outside the U.S. and Canada.

Like....share....and win!That's what more and more Facebook posts are asking you to do.It seems everyone wants us to "like" a page or post on Facebook these days (OK, I admit I am guilty too)."It pops up every day. Your friend likes this, or your friend sent you this," one woman said.Now, thousands of people are liking a Facebook post for a chance to win a $2,000 diamond ring, just in time for Christmas.Kathy Currington and Phyllis Willke found the post on their feed the other day."Yes, I saw that," Currington said. "I didn't respond."But many others are.Why Everyone is Sharing itThe post claims that by liking and sharing with your friends Satisfashion's Facebook page, you can win a beautiful diamond ring, on December 25, or this upcoming Valentine’s Day.Different versions of the post have different dates, though there do not seem to be postings listing past winners.Thousands of people are liking and sharing the post, some saying "what's the harm, LOL."But you may not be laughing out loud when you find out where your information is going.What Can Happen When You ClickThe Better Business Bureau says this is known as "Like" farming.The BBB says while it not a true scam, marketers set up temporary Facebook pages, and get you to like and share them to win something.When they hit 10,000 or more likes, they then sell the page to other marketers or scammers, who then hit you with ads, offers, even malware.Other farming pages have promoted free iPhones and free airline tickets.The "Satisfashion" post takes you to a Facebook jewelry website supposedly in England, but with no known address, or contact information, just a new diamond giveaway every month.So while it sure is appealing, remember that a simple Facebook like -- just like a diamond -- can be forever.

Some of Your Facebook Friends Might Be Undercover Federal Agents

U.S. law enforcement agents are following the rest of the Internet world into popular social-networking services, going undercover with false online profiles to communicate with suspects and gather private information, according to an internal Justice Department document that offers a tantalizing glimpse of issues related to privacy and crime-fighting.Think you know who’s behind that “friend” request? Think again. Your new “friend” just might be the FBI.The document, obtained in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, makes clear that U.S. agents are already logging on surreptitiously to exchange messages with suspects, identify a target’s friends or relatives and browse private information such as postings, personal photographs and video clips.

If you post an offer to purchase or sell firearms, alcohol, tobacco, or adult products, we expect you to comply with all applicable laws and carefully consider the audience for that content. We do not allow you to use Facebook's payment tools to sell or purchase regulated goods on our platform. Violence and Graphic Content

Facebook has long been a place where people share their experiences and raise awareness about important issues. Sometimes, those experiences and issues involve violence and graphic images of public interest or concern, such as human rights abuses or acts of terrorism. In many instances, when people share this type of content, they are condemning it or raising awareness about it. We remove graphic images when they are shared for sadistic pleasure or to celebrate or glorify violence.

When people share anything on Facebook, we expect that they will share it responsibly, including carefully choosing who will see that content. We also ask that people warn their audience about what they are about to see if it includes graphic violence.

You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. However, before sharing content on Facebook, please be sure you have the right to do so. We ask that you respect copyrights, trademarks, and other legal rights. Learn more about intellectual property rights. Reporting AbuseOur global community is growing every day and we strive to welcome people to an environment free from abusive content. To do this, we rely on people like you. If you see something on Facebook that you believe violates our terms, please report it to us. We have dedicated teams working around the world to review things you report to help make sure Facebook remains safe.

Governments also sometimes ask us to remove content that violates local laws, but does not violate our Community Standards. If after careful legal review, we find that the content is illegal under local law, then we may make it unavailable only in the relevant country or territory.

Please keep the following in mind:

We may take action any time something violates the Community Standards outlined here.

We may ask Page owners to associate their name and Facebook Profile with a Page that contains cruel and insensitive content, even if that content does not violate our policies.

Reporting something doesn't guarantee that it will be removed because it may not violate our policies.

Our content reviewers will look to you for information about why a post may violate our policies. If you report content, please tell us why the content should be removed (e.g., is it nudity or hate speech?) so that we can send it to the right person for review.

Our review decisions may occasionally change after receiving additional context about specific posts or after seeing new, violating content appearing on a Page or Facebook Profile.

The number of reports does not impact whether something will be removed. We never remove content simply because it has been reported a number of times.

The consequences for violating our Community Standards vary depending on the severity of the violation and the person's history on Facebook. For instance, we may warn someone for a first violation, but if we continue to see further violations we may restrict a person's ability to post on Facebook or ban the person from Facebook.

Not all disagreeable or disturbing content violates our Community Standards. For this reason, we offer you the ability to customize and control what you see by unfollowing, blocking, and hiding the posts, people, Pages, and applications you don’t want to see – and we encourage you to use these controls to better personalize your experience. Learn more. People also often resolve issues they have about a piece of content by simply reaching out to the person who posted it. We’ve created tools for you to communicate directly with other people when you’re unhappy with posts, photos, or other content you see on Facebook.

Suckface policies as Facebook policies

Statement of Rights and Responsibilities This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ("Statement," "Terms," or "SRR") derives from the Facebook Principles, and is our terms of service that governs our relationship with users and others who interact with Facebook, as well as Facebook brands, products and services, which we call the “Facebook Services” or “Services”. By using or accessing the Facebook Services, you agree to this Statement, as updated from time to time in accordance with Section 13 below. Additionally, you will find resources at the end of this document that help you understand how Facebook works.

Because Facebook provides a wide range of Services, we may ask you to review and accept supplemental terms that apply to your interaction with a specific app, product, or service. To the extent those supplemental terms conflict with this SRR, the supplemental terms associated with the app, product, or service govern with respect to your use of such app, product or service to the extent of the conflict.

Privacy

Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Data Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use Facebook to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Data Policy, and to use it to help you make informed decisions.

Sharing Your Content and Information

You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:

For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.

When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).

When you use an application, the application may ask for your permission to access your content and information as well as content and information that others have shared with you. We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and information. (To learn more about Platform, including how you can control what information other people may share with applications, read our Data Policy and Platform Page.)

When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).

We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Facebook, but you understand that we may use your feedback or suggestions without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).
